J.PLANK Sunday August 16th 2026

J.PLANK stands out because he’s the real deal — a hard-working touring artist with deep roots, serious musicianship, and that rare ability to make a room feel like it’s part of the show. There’s no shortcut in his story. His lap steel work isn’t “extra”; it’s a signature voice woven directly into the songs, shaping mood and movement with texture, soul, and intention. Every note feels earned.

His songwriting carries a lived-in honesty that doesn’t feel performative — it feels true. The kind of truth that only comes from years of miles, stages, late nights, and long drives between towns. He’s built his career the long way: earning stages, earning audiences, and earning respect — from Texas roots circuits to the wider touring world.

Now based on Vancouver Island, he’s still putting in the miles and delivering every night with the same commitment to craft and connection. He’s not a newcomer chasing attention — he’s a road-tested artist arriving in Calgary for the first time, bringing with him decades of experience, grit, warmth, and genuine musicianship.

This is an opportunity to experience an artist who has earned every stage he steps onto.

This event is also a Food Bank Booster Concert, inviting all guests to bring non-perishable food items in support of both local community food programs and the Veterans Association Food Bank. Together, we’ll share music, gather donations, and strengthen community ties.

Not just a concert. It’s a moment to connect with friends of the series—and a chance to share the realtime experience.

Hope you can join us—thank you! for supporting 'Live Music in the Community'
